I created some graphics as part of a collaborative effort with the San Diego Privacy advocacy group to help further our goal of creating a succinct informational guide to Prop 24. Our motive for this was to help California voters grow their understanding of the complicated law and the proposed changes to it in Prop 24. We wanted to create something accessible so everyone could better understand their privacy rights. We worked hard to create a guide that was as neutral and unbiased as possible, presenting perspectives from both the Yes on 24 & No on 24 sides so that the reader could be informed enough to vote according to their own values.
These graphics stand on their own, but their role in our project helped us decide what information would be most imperative to communicate and what the best format for communicating it would be. The end result is a super helpful, informative guide that provides a vital resource to California voters and privacy advocates alike. Check out the final product on the San Diego Privacy group website:

These sets are packaged in dark green card stock boxes with a flap that is held in place by 2 pastel color elastic bands which have been permanently secured with a blue wax seal bearing yet another mushroom.
I designed my own Field Data Slips, used for recording important data when collecting mushroom specimens for the San Diego Mycological Society’s identification table and the Mushroom Barcoding Project.
My slips are designed to provide the same fields for data collection as the ones provided by SDMyco, while giving the writer a bit more space to record the information and a modern, minimalistic upgrade to the collection slip’s design.
I’m providing two versions of my Field Data Slips for free download so you can print your own for the next time you go out collecting.
Happy hunting!

Some graphic design work for The Enriquez Group from 2019, including trade show banners, booth dressings, and business cards.
“A Glorious Journey Together” is a memoir of my maternal great grandfather, Fielding Lewis Guyer, written by Diane Lowrie. Based off of many taped recordings of “Whitey” describing his adventures, archival 8mm footage, hundreds of old photos, written correspondences, and thorough genealogical research, this book represents a labor of love more than two years in the making.
“Whitey” (as he was known to some) was a man born at the turn of the century in 1902. He experienced Prohibition and survived the Great Depression, riding his motorcycle across the United States to find work as a “leatherneck”, building oil derricks. He was a Freemason, a union worker, a father, grandfather, and an adventurer from a different time.
A Glorious Journey Together by Diane Lowrie is available for sale at Verbatim Books, or from my online shop (as an e-book or trade paperback).
The intersection of botanical sciences, data visualization, and fine art.
Diane Lowrie came to me looking to create a new tri-fold brochure to describe her expressive art therapy services and workshop rates, as well as give a brief definition of expressive art therapy practices in general. She provided me several of her previous brochures and we went through them together while she explained more about what she liked and didn’t like about them. Armed with that information I formulated this design, supplementing the photos she provided of her former students with some of the photos I previously shot of her artwork.

Various business and promotional cards I've designed for clients, friends, and myself.
Miniature 2013 Calendars, laser printed on acid free paper, with coated metal comb binding. Each measures around 3.5W x 8.5L” .
I created these tiny calendars as holiday gifts for friends and family at the end of 2012. Each calendar had a different set of photos — photos I sourced from each of the recipients’ social media accounts (though primarily Instagram). My goal was to create a personalized calendar for each person that featured photos from their adventures, traveling experiences, and everyday life from the prior year(s).
Technical Notes:
My knowledge and proficiency with graphic design software has vastly improved and expanded since these were created, 6+ years ago. This older project is a valuable point of comparison between a newer calendar design I created at the end of 2017. The 2018 photo calendars had the benefit of my much improved technical skills, and using Adobe InDesign I drafted the newer design in far less time, and much higher quality than it’s miniature predecessor. The 2013 calendar design was created from start to finish in Adobe Photoshop. I created a blank template with an empty square frame acting as a placeholder that would eventually contain the photo for each month. I formatted the text uniformly for each month on separate layers then painstakingly plugged in each one of the images to the corresponding month, hiding layers as I worked my way through the year. Each page was saved as an individual .jpg that I arranged onto 8.5x11” sheets to maximize the amount of prints per sheet and waste as little paper as possible.
I created this 11x17” poster for Tie Game Rivalry's album, The Libras. Risograph printed by Burn All Books.
The model has requested I protect her anonymity online by not showing her face, which is why I have obscured it in the images of the set of posters where it would be visible — posters are still available for purchase in all 3 prints and all 5 color combinations and unlike the images displayed here, the actual posters are not watermarked and the model’s face is not obscured.
Available for purchase in my Shop.
